The primary purposes of this entity is the advancement of religion and spirituality understanding and to eliminate prejudice and discrimination based upon personal beliefs. Mission Statement: The mission of Crossroads Universal is to foster pride in personal Pagan identity through education, community charity, & activism. Defining the Mission Statement: We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of the elements of: Air: Education We need to be able to practice our personal spiritual beliefs openly. We help accomplish this through giving accurate information to the public of who we are and what we do & not do. Earth: Community We need to be able to practice our personal spiritual beliefs openly with the help of others in our local Pagan community. We must weave networking webs in our cities, our towns, our rural areas. We need these webs to support one another. This support will show the masses the we are not restricting our prac- tices to a few isolated weirdos, but that we are a growing congrega- tion of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is as valid as their own. Water: Charity We know that what we do, returns to us. We must demonstrate this by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we share our own abundance, we show that we trust the Gods to share abundance with us. Fire: Activism People are not going to go out of their way to find out what Pagans are really about. We have to have the courage to act upon our convictions & do what we need to do to make sure ignorance is kept to a minimum by providing a viable example of true pagan faith.

Blessed be. Where Medicine and Magic Meet: Western medicine and magic have a long tangled history. Some of us have become wary of modern medicine, and modern medicine has certainly become skeptical of magic. It is crucial, however, that the two practices recognize their common ground and work together for the best possible patient outcomes. This workshop seeks to explore that history, why it is important to find a healthcare provider whom you can trust, and the ways in which we are already bridging those gaps.
